Regina King is the only reason I even gave the show a chance.
I thought this year's Joker movie was the best a super hero origin story could get...and this show surpasses that cinematic excellence.

Definitely a television pinnacle, every episode is amazingly better than last week's.

I re-watched ep.6 and suddenly noticed how amazing King is in the role. She physically takes on the mannerisms and expressions of her grandfather, while overdosing on that nostalgia narcotic.

Hoteps just mad to be mad, they're still angry and dismissive over the late great Manning Marabel because of his Malcolm X biography, for this very reason. But what a clever tie, perhaps to that. Definitely to the actual graphic novel, there was an inferred sexual relationship between the two, if I remember correctly.
